Does Mosquito Control Have an Effect on Mosquito-Borne Disease? The Case of Ross River Virus Disease and Mosquito Management in Queensland, Australia

, 2011
We examined the relationship between types of mosquito control programs and the mosquito-borne Ross River virus (RRV) disease in Queensland, Australia.

Habitat characterization and spatial distribution of Anopheles sp. mosquito larvae in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) during an extended dry period. [PDF]

, 2005
INTRODUCTION\ud \ud By 2030, more than 50% of the African population will live in urban areas. Controlling malaria reduces the disease burden and further improves economic development.

The mosquito borne disease environment in the Northern Territory, past and present

, 2011
The importance of mosquito control for a reduction in mosquito borne disease is locally and globally valid. The most important mosquito borne diseases in Australian history are malaria, dengue, and the endemic arboviruses.National Health and Medical ...

Development and External Validation of Logistic Regression Models Integrating Conventional Complete Blood Count and Cell Population Data for Predicting RT‐PCR–Confirmed Dengue

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
We developed logistic regression models integrating routine complete blood count (CBC) parameters and analyzer‐derived cell population data (CPD) to predict RT‐PCR–confirmed dengue infection and evaluated their performance across internal and external settings.

Primary blood-hosts of mosquitoes are influenced by social and ecological conditions in a complex urban landscape

Parasites & Vectors, 2018
Background Temperate urban landscapes support persistent and growing populations of Culex and Aedes mosquito vectors. Large urban mosquito populations can represent a significant risk for transmission of emergent arboviral infection.

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future

Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

Buildings as accidental habitat: Where animals nest, sleep and forage

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Animals have long inhabited human buildings alongside us, but our understanding comes from isolated studies, such as reports of a possum in the roof or a bat in our walls. What we lack is the building's perspective: which building features actually serve as habitat and for whom?

Replication enhancer elements within the open reading frame of tick-borne encephalitis virus and their evolution within the Flavivirus genus [PDF]

, 2011
We provide experimental evidence of a replication enhancer element (REE) within the capsid gene of tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV, genus Flavivirus).

Using art history to explore society's changing connections with agriculture

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Food insecurity is a looming challenge that especially affects those least fortunate. Consumer food choices have a substantial impact on the sustainability of current food systems. Here, we use art as a lens through which to consider our contemporary and historical relationship to one of the world's most crucial crops, the potato, in the context of the
